Would it be?A Poem by GwenLarkThoughts of a futureWhat if my body just gave in? Would it be such a surprise? Such a shock? Would imposters costumed as friends Mourn? Would characters shrouded in black Tell heavily amended versions of My truth? When would that be? Would it be after many ‘happy’ years of ‘belonging’ With glazed over eyes? Would it be after travelling a world full of despair and Cruelty? Would it be after producing an heir To this kingdom of Imagined joy? Would it be alone? Would it be after a lifetime of struggle, A lifetime of pain A lifetime of heartache and disappointment? Would it be tomorrow? Before the golden light of a cold and Unforgiving sun peered over the distant Tree tops? Before I even opened my eyes? I pray it is. © 2018 GwenLarkAuthor's Note
